You have no fucking idea what that terms means. Whataboutism is when you say “Johnny stole a cookie” and I use whataboutism to say “But you killed the dog 3 years ago.” Whataboutism is not when you say “Johnny stole a cookie” and I say “But you invaded and occupied the bakery, killed the original owners, steal the ingredients to make your cookies, and issue predatory loans to hungry people so they can buy your cookies at price gouging prices.”
It is not whataboutism to call out hypocrisy. It takes a special form of brain rot to not see this.

Your previous post is textbook Whataboutism.

No argument was actually made. I was the one making the argument, which was that Russia’s meddling is smaller and less damaging than Western meddling.
Your response was to how “Russia meddles” as you put it yourself. And instead of making an argument, you say “so did the West”.
Which is whataboutism, ad hominem and a red herring.
You never put forward an actual argument in your comment starting with “Any Western reporting” Which I referred to earlier.
I find it very hard to understand how you believe you are actually making a point here?
